Beginner Gentle Flow
Geared towards those new to yoga or with minimal experience seeking a gentler introduction to yoga.
Gentle Yoga with Mandy
Yin Yoga offers a contrasting approach by focusing on long-held, passive poses that target the body's deep connective tissues. This style emphasizes relaxation and stillness, allowing practitioners to release tension and increase flexibility over time. Restorative Yoga is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to complement more dynamic practices with a meditative and introspective element, promoting a sense of balance and harmony in both body and mind.
Dru Yoga with Natasha
Dru Yoga is a unique practice that focuses on fluid, graceful movements, incorporating gentle postures and sequences. Rooted in ancient yogic traditions, Dru Yoga places a strong emphasis on the flow of energy, encouraging practitioners to explore movement, breath, and meditation. This style is well-suited for individuals seeking a holistic approach to well-being, as it not only nurtures physical flexibility but also cultivates inner tranquillity and emotional balance.
Intermediate Flow
Suited for those with some yoga experience looking to progress.
Hatha Yoga with Mandy & Beth
Hatha Yoga is a foundational style that forms the basis for many modern yoga practices. It involves holding static poses, controlled breathing, and meditation to promote physical strength, balance, and mental clarity. Hatha is an excellent starting point for beginners as it provides a solid grounding in fundamental postures and alignment principles. Through a deliberate and mindful approach, practitioners develop a deeper understanding of their bodies and the connection between breath and movement.
Restorative
Ideal for all levels, particularly those seeking a restful and rejuvenating practice.

Open Level Yoga embodies the spirit of inclusivity, fostering a sense of unity among participants on different stages of their yoga journey.
Pregnancy Yoga
Prenatal Yoga is specifically designed for pregnancy to provide emotional and physical mind-body support. The key areas of focus during your class are breathing, stamina, pelvic floor work, restorative poses, and core strength.
Pregnancy Yoga with Beth
Staying active during your pregnancy can have lots of benefits not just for you, but also your baby, both during and after pregnancy. Yoga can be a gentle way to do this, ensuring there isn't too much strain on your joints.
If you practice yoga during pregnancy, it can help you focus on your body and use your breath to stay calm, which may help you during labour.
Starting yoga – key points:
-
If you are new to yoga, it will be much more beneficial to do a pregnancy specific class, and also let your instructor know you are new to Yoga.
-
There are many styles of yoga - a gentler, slower paced style such as Hatha is beneficial during pregnancy.
-
If you have been doing yoga for a while, it is fine to continue while you are pregnant but do let your instructor know and they can tailor any poses accordingly. Stay with what you find comfortable and focus on improving your yoga technique while you are pregnant. Avoid any new or advanced postures.
